Formscan By Mark Nunan - Placed in five of her seven starts over hurdles, including twice over course and distance, LIKEALIGHTSWITCH can get her turn here. The Soldier Of Fortune mare made the running when filling the runner-up spot on her last two starts, and is likely to be prominent again. Anthony McCann saddled the winner of this maiden a year ago and Shesakindamagic, who was useful in bumpers, has claims on her second to a highly-rated rival at Fairyhouse in early January. She couldn't build on that, though, when well behind the selection at the same venue last time. Rebel Queen showed promise over course and distance on debut and has place claims.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 10st 11lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs.
